My experience with the new OneDrive Team Site Sync
Did you install and open the new OneDrive client? Even if you don't configure the client prior to syncing, this is a must.
Hi Norman, I might have done something wrong during my setup. Now OneDrive crashes when it tries to load the folders for a OneDrive library. So it does start the sync dialog but crashes when loading the folder structure.
Any ideas on fixing this? Or do I need to wait for an update?
The new build is working well for me, no problems at all with the sync. I have successfully synced my Office 365 Group document libary. However, I have noticed that when attempting to share a document from Windows Explorer, the OneDrive sharing menu is not displayed, so its current not possible to share, or be directed to the online sharing options directly from Windows Explorer when syncing a Office 365 Group document library.
Hi Paul,
I've been talking to Microsoft support about the issue. We have been able to narrow this down to the syncing Office Groups is causing the crash. Syncing SharePoint Sites is not causing any crashes. And the issue is not only for me, but colleagues are having the same issue. So, it might be Office 365 tenant related.
Keep you posted!
I have the sync option for the entire Group Document library but not individual folders within the Group files. Are you having the same experience? If I have 35 folders but only need one then this seems like a waste, shouldn't I be able to just sync an individual folder?
No you should be able to selectively sync the folders that you want. Right click on the sync client and click on settings. You should see the ability to select which folders you want to sync per document library.
Since upgrading to the latest build my client has been stable. No longer stuck processing changes or attempting to log in. It also has been reconnecting without issues. The only issue that remains for me is that I cannot initiate a sync in IE. I have to use Chrome to initiate a document library sync.
Thank you for your experience and courage in deploying the new build. I was rendered gun shy by the sync issues in the first release and applaud those more adventurous and persistent. Hope your instalation remains stable. With one more positve experience posted I will be tempted to reinstall.
